What about Moscow Mitch, anyway?
Shouldnāt he be subject to some investigations of his own behavior by now?

67-33 isnāt a tie, though. Constitutionally, he canāt vote in that case. If he does anyway and the Republicans let him, thereās really no point in paying attention to any of it anymore, because the rules are just what they say there are.
With the announcement that the next G7 will be at Trumpās property itās clear that they simply donāt care anymore about optics or the appearance of impropriety. Itās as if to say āweāre going to do everything illegal, unethical, and improper right in front of your face and thereās nothing you can do about it.ā And so far, itās working.
Trumpās base doesnāt care as long as they feel like they are āwinningā (whatever that means), his Republican cohorts are to frightened to do anything because they value power over principles, and the supposedly non-partisan judiciary has been heavily gamed in Trumps favor thanks to McConnellās machinations during the Obama presidency.
Iāve pretty much given up any hope of things ever getting better.
History shows, the pendulum always swings back. And sometimes it has a blade attached.
(getting into the Halloween spirit!)
Can we do the John Oliver āWe Got Himā skit now? Pretty please?
And I especially love the āoh this is just how foreign policy worksā justification. Yes, itās perfectly normal to say āwe wonāt give your country foreign aid if you donāt <demand>ā.
Itās not normal when <demand> happens to be āinvestigate the family of a political opponentā.
For those who think Trump has gotten worseā¦this is how he was before heād even started office:
Then Trump turned back to me. āSo why is it so broken? The VA.ā
āWell, there are many reasons, starting with ā ā
āI think we need to let the veterans go wherever they want.ā
āWell, there needs to be a coordinated effort ā ā
āIāll tell you what: weāre going to fix this thing. If you were in charge, what would you do first?ā
āI would make sure that we had ā ā
āDo you think we can fix this thing?ā
āYes, Mr. President-Elect, I do.ā
We went on like this for another 30 minutes or so while the others wandered in and out.
I wonder if heāll be next on the chopping block.
I think weāve reached the point in this timeline where, worn thin by Trumpās constant use of the Stupidity Drive, other realities begin to bleed into our own.
I wouldnāt have guessed that mittens would be the first GOP senator to remember where he left his spine.
Isnāt that where all conspiracy hate groups hold their meetings?
I was thinking that if Trump wins again, but the democrats have the house and the senate, it will be time to just wallow in corruption. Like pass bills enacting laws you want that also just give Trump cash. Like the Medicare for All and $50M for Trump Act. You can write right in the law that this payment is not considered a bribe and is exempt from any other law or ethics rules. And if the Republicans complain that itās corrupt, just say, āYes it is!ā
I would have, actually. Iām not a fan of the Mormon faith, but thereās no doubt it does instill a strong sense of morality that would be hard to shake.
Butā¦ butā¦ posting that image makes you just as bad as the neo-Nazis!
